Hello! question for people who use sync myfitnesspal & fitbit, when you are running do you only sync it so it's counting your steps vs adding in that you did run for 30 mins and burned so many calories while running? Would that be "doubling up" on what your doing if you do add it in to the exercise for the day since your fitbit is counting your steps?

    Good question! I use Runkeeper to log my runs and my Fitbit is set to know that I'm running within 5 min. I do not add in any exercise in MFP. My Fitbit logs my runs from Runkeeper and then tells MFP what calories/steps I've earned. I have not seen a problem with duplication. Have you adjusted your settings so your Fitbit knows when you're running? I believe the default is 10 min, but I lowered it. Just let Fitbit tell MFP; don't add exercise in MFP. Hope that helps!
